Federal agencies would favor US-made innovative wood for public buildings.
This bill would require federal agencies, such as the General Services Administration and the Department of Defense, to favor innovative wood products made in the U.S. when building or updating public buildings. This change aims to help American wood businesses and forest owners who use sustainable methods or are underserved.
Today, federal agencies do not have a specific rule to prioritize innovative wood products in public building construction. If this bill becomes law, federal agencies like the GSA and DOD would be required to give preference to public buildings that use US-made innovative wood products, especially those from sustainable or underserved forest sources.
